In either case (A or D), what was the source of the hypervitaminosis? What dosage per day had the patients been taking, for how long; and what was their body weight?
Cheers!

In either case (A or D), what was the source of the hypervitaminosis?Post 25 goes into detail about the 2 hyper D patients. One hyper A patient was given large doses of Vitamin A by her doctor for Acne. She survived, but not without months of misery. The other one took huge doses herself as a suicide attempt after reading about Arctic explorers who died from hypervitaminosis A after eating polar bear liver. She didn't survive.
